The Influence of Leadership Style on the Socio-Psychological Climate in the Production Team

The author examines the influence of the leadership style (authoritarian, democratic or liberal) on the management of the labor collective, the author proposed the hypothesis of the study, which consisted in the assumption that the socio-psychological climate in the team directly depends on the leadership style of this team and has its own characteristics inherent in each leadership style separately. In the course of an empirical study based on qualitative and correlation analysis methods, the influence of leadership style on the formation of the socio-psychological climate in the team was studied. In conclusion, the main trends confirming the influence of leadership style on the psychological climate in the team are noted. In the experimental study, 128 subjects, 56 of them men and 72 women, working in three organizations and performing executive functions: an organization in the field of public catering, in the field of beauty and health and in the banking sector aged 20 to 42 years. The study was conducted through the subjects filling out a Google form online. The data obtained showed that the leadership style is influenced by both subjective (personal) and objective factors (a combination of social and economic requirements of production). Therefore, the effectiveness of the management process will largely be determined by the intelligence and general culture of the manager himself, his professional training, character, temperament, as well as the level of formation and well-being of the socio-psychological climate in the team.
